    <p>I'm using the <a href="http://timeago.yarp.com/" rel="nofollow">timeago jquery plugin</a> to format timestamps in columns of my <a href="http://datatables.net/" rel="nofollow">data table</a>. The <code>fnDrawCallback</code> DataTables option allows me to set / update formatted timestamps like:</p> <pre><code>&lt;abbr class="timeago" title="2008-07-17T09:24:17Z"&gt;July 17, 2008&lt;/abbr&gt; </code></pre> <p>into a more human readable <code>2 years ago</code>. This gets called anytime there is a table redraw so it works for pagination, server calls, etc. </p> <pre><code>myTable = $('#example').dataTable({ "fnDrawCallback" : function () { $("abbr.timeago").timeago() }, "aaData" : tableData, "aoColumns" : tableHeadings, "oSearch" : {"sSearch" : "", "bRegex" : true, "bSmart" : true, }, }); </code></pre> <p>However, <code>fnDrawCallback</code> does not update the search indicies so querying <code>years</code> returns nothing. Is there a way to force DataTables to update its search indicies?</p> <p><strong>Edit</strong> </p> <p>For clarity I initialize <code>tableData</code> and <code>tableHeadings</code> an array of hashes passed in through JSON. This seems to work fine, as this data shows up in the table without a hitch. The issue is that the Timeago modifies the DOM on the <code>fnDrawCallback</code> which happens after the filter / sort indicies for the table have been populated.</p> <pre><code>// tableHeadings === ['a', 'b', 'DateOne', 'DateTwo', ...] for(i=0; i&lt;tableHeadings.length; i++) { tableHeadings[i] = { "sTitle" : tableHeadings[i], }; if(tableHeadings[i].sTitle.match(/Date/)) { tableHeadings[i].fnRender = function (c) { // closure over i return function (o) { var iso_time = o.aData[c].replace(/\s/, "T") + "Z"; return '&lt;abbr class="timeago" title="'+iso_time+'"&gt;'+'&lt;/abbr&gt;'; } }(i); } } </code></pre> <p>So I can search for the <code>iso_time</code>, but not <code>2 years ago</code>.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
